alone time

35_alone_time

I’m learning that when I feel “lonely”, I actually need to be alone. Really alone. No books. No crowds. No electronic devices. No animals. No distracting or absorbing tasks of any kind. I need to just *be*. For the “loneliness”, I’m realizing, is a result of being separated from myself. From my inner workings. My intuition. My senses. My heart. And when I’m separated from myself like this, I begin to look for what I need in other places, in other people. I search for an external “fix”. But no one, no matter how connected we are, knows me like I do. No one can soothe my aches or dispel my confusion like I can. No one has the energy or attention for me that I do. And so when I come back to myself (with respect and full commitment), my loneliness melts away and is slowly replaced with a familiar and deeply rooted confidence, a knowing that has no doubts, no fears, no shame, only a sense of vastness, and timelessness, and profound reassurance.

passion

34_passion

Do not apologize for your passion. It’s what lights you on fire, and your heat and illumination are needed right now as our planet stands at the tipping point of great transformation. As a fire-being, you can melt even the most fortified walls of fear-protection, you can shine light on the creatures of darkest doubt and cynicism, you can transform the deep anger and pain of the most damaged souls. Your passion is pure energy — it provides courage to those who are afraid of the dark, fuel to those who are hungry or burned-out, inspiration to those who have never pulsated so intensely. It’s the most beautiful and potent thing in the world — celebrate it!
